"MAUI - One Man against the Gods"
...a bold, new production to
have its world premiere at the Westpac St James Theatre in Wellington (from May 25 - June 5 2005)
Maui tells the story of a legendary hero whose epic
adventures include fishing up the North Island,
capturing the sun, and seeking the source of fire.
A gripping combination of kapa-haka, sensual
contemporary dance and the emotional and spiritual
intensity of the Maori culture, Maui takes you on a
journey into a world of Gods, underwater creatures,
volcanic fury and illustrates a man's guile with his
confrontations against Hine Nui Te Po: the Goddess of
Death.
